 | I have been learning to play PS songs on guitar for the past half yr, and boy its tough.
So far, i culd do only ´Scarborough Fair´, ´59th Bridge Song´ & ´American Tune´. Bgt the tabs from amazon.com
Anyone out there plays PS songs on guitar? |

April Come She Will
Scarborough Fair
Bookends Theme, Old Friends
The Sounds Of Silence
Feelin´ Groovy
The Only Livin´ Boy in NY
I have the guitar for 9 months now, so I cannot play very good yet. Hopefully I will get better :) |

| Tat´s cool Adam to have perfected these songs. Luv "Feelin´ Groovy", easy to play and unforgettable tune. I tried "Kathy´s song" but couldn´t, guess i need a teacher to coach me.
I got a guitar too, about 10 months now, black accoustic.
By the way, did PS wrote the lyrics for "April Come She Will" or were the words adapted from a poem? |

| @ Jocke: I don´t have a guitar at the campus but I am getting a classical one as a birthday present on the 4th of May, I will bring it to campus then :) Baby Driver is one of the hardest songs to play on guitar, I tried it 2 days ago but it´s so fast...
@ Belle
Kathy´s song is quite tough because it´s picked AND it contains barre chords, I tried it some time ago, too. And this is what I found about April Come She Will:
-Paul based this beautiful song on a poem once read to him in England
-It is actually a traditional English folk rhyme - at least the first line and every subsequent odd line. The lines in between - "When springs..." etc. were written by Paul Simon, possibly during his stay in England |

| Okay,when you get you´re guitar Adam we could do the only livning boy in new york-you can do the part that you use to do-and I do the background vocals,and we could also do April Come She Will but with two part harmonie. |

| Thanks very much Adam, at PS wrote "When springs..", his the lines are beautifully interwined! :-) Indeed Kathy´s song is pretty tough, and the player must have ´fast fingers´. Another great song tat is hard to attempt is "Heart and Bones". I guess it´ll take a while for amateurs like me to grasp the technique. |

| Hi Jocke/Adam
Have any of you tried to perform "Anji"?
I am still trying to play this tune, its a very beautiful tune, but the thing is that I wonder if the tabs are really correct, as it sounded different from the rest of the pp. |

 | well Paul Simon was the reason i picked up a guitar! his stuff can be tricky but i recommend watching his live performances. it´s like getting a lesson from the man himself, good luck! |

| Hi Josh, for me PS is the main reason that I rekindled my passion for guitar. Thus, i´ve decided to get a teacher rather than learning by myself..tough man! I´ve been watching lots of his live performances "Central Park 81" and his Old videoclips in the 60s-trying to ´perform´ like him, well maybe to be half as good as him will do! |
